We loved staying here! The location is perfect- so close to the city and all the places we wanted to go to.

Recommend!

Secluded Studio @ Zilker - King Bed, Bright & Airy

AnaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I stayed for 2 months and the apartment was just perfect for what I needed. It is not an apartment to go work in, it is a home to come back to rest and warm your heart after walking, biking, playing volleyball and working in the cafes around downtown. You really feel like in a lux tree house. Amy and Nick were always willing to help and answer any questions. The place is silent, a healthy family environment. For an adventurous person, it is perfect🙏🏼🙏🏼.It is spacious and is a little bigger than what I expected from looking at the pictures. I will definitely be back. Also: kitchen perfectly equipped, cozy living room, comfy bed and pillows, and the lighting is so warm too. 🫀🫀.

Cristina's place was a perfect spot to stay in the Holly neighborhood! For me, the location could not be better. Walking distance to everything! Cafes, restaurants, taco stalls, bars, the trail...it's central to all of the best things in this area. And everything beyond is a short bike ride or Uber away. The place itself is spacious and comfortable! The full kitchen was especially nice to have. Finally, the hosts were all super communicative and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. So nice to have attentive hosts! Would definitely recommend and will hopefully stay again!

Stylish Studio - Loft Bed - Your Cozy City Haven

SheenaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We stayed for a couple days, host were very responsive, great great location, private, place was VERY spacious and no clutter, bathroom features were nice, quite neighborhood and felt safe, no issues finding street parking (and the spot in front of the house was always open during our 4 days). I thought the AC over the bed would be an issue since I'm a light sleeper and hate fans but if u adjust the oscillating ft it's not an issue at all! I will say the steps are steep (noted prior to booking) which may be an issue if u have bad knees or use the bathroom frequently, however the couch has a pull out bed I think and the place is roomy. Overall would stay again!
